Firewater Studios

In 2000, the band renovated their rehearsal space creating a digital recording studio in Downtown Brooklyn, New York[15] named Rat Piss Studios.[16] In 2005, while working on Means to an End, their eighth studio album, the band opened the larger and less expensive Underground Sound Studios in South Amboy, New Jersey, leaving Rat Piss Studios behind.

Graziadei briefly formed a trip hop project named Blu with Jenifer Bair of the Ohio band Hilo.[18] After writing and recording approximately twenty songs for the project, Bair relocated to Los Angeles to continue an art career and the project dissolved with all material, save for three demo tracks, remaining unreleased.
